      Some people need a brain implant to correct their negative views on life, and to rejuvenate their hippocampus.

      This is my first time here so be easy with me.

      What you said here is a little bothersome, but I feel I need to establish some context to fully explain why. Most people are familiar with schizophrenia, in some way or another. I have had my fair share of a few. Some are worse for wear, others are doing alright for themselves. But even the ones that aren't as bad off still have a common 'symptom', if that's what you want to call it.

      Schizophrenics usually go through experiences of highs and lows. It almost looks like a pattern on repeat. Family members of the afflicted often report seeing the turns coming. But over the last decade or so, we have had a spike in anxiety within the younger communities. Many of these youth freak out, go to a doctor, and are given a diagnosis. Sometimes it is for anxiety. But sometimes, I feel people are being 'catch-alled' into a schizophrenic diagnosis. I am no doctor, of course. But I have spoken with many who also feel this way.

      The reason I go into detail like that, the common symptom is concluding that you are not schizophrenic.

      What happens if some young man goes through a traumatic episode, handles it poorly, is told he is schizophrenic (usually diagnosed between ages 21 and 26), and then comes to find out he is not schizophrenic? As of today, some doctors will speak up for a client when they believe there is a misdiagnosis. But if the answer to negative views is to put a chip in a brain, would that not be messed up to do to someone who may or may not be going through what you think they are?

      I have followed the idea of Neuralink for a long time. And I am very fond of technological advancements. But I cannot believe that a technology like this should ever be used to "correct" someone's mind. This is very dangerous territory. What happens when someone starts giving orders to "correct" someone for not believing the same thing?

      Just my two cents. I never really jump on forums. I'm sure I could count on my two hands how many times I have posted on Reddit and the likes. But does anyone else see that this could also be very bad?

      Edit: @ugly I didn't mean to click reply on your post. I believe it was @Pesala who I am quoting. As I said, I don't use forums.

          @DoctorG How could they get FDA otherwise?

          Those who have quadraplegia can apply to join the first in-human clinical trials.

          The PRIME Study is being conducted under the investigational device exemption (IDE) awarded by the FDA in May 2023 and represents an important step in our mission to create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs.

          Those who have quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may qualify.

            100 Days of 1st Clinical Trial

            PRIME Study Progress Update — User Experience.

            After about three months, the results seem to be quite promising. I guess that we will see the trial extended to more patients this year, and exponential progress in the abilities of Neuralink implants by the end of 2025.

                How dexterous are you?

                Webgrid Tests measure the performance of patients fitted with a Neuralink implant.

                The first patient achieved a new record of 8 BPS. How fast are you with a mouse?

                I only managed about 6 BPS.

                      Third Volunteer with a Brain Implant

                      First non-verbal patient.

                      “Bradford G. Smith is the third person in the World to receive Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant — and the first with ALS, the first who is nonverbal.

                      He types with his brain now, and this is his primary way of communicating.”

                      I guess that this technology is still in the early trial phase, but it is already providing real benefits.
